The program offers a one-year, remote mentorship opportunity, focusing on project-based guidance to support participants in advancing their bioethics research within a global context. The initiative is a testament to the SNF's commitment to supporting bioethics research and education.
Key Features of the SNF Global Bioethics Mentorship Program: - Duration: 1 year - Format: Remote mentorship - Target group: Early-career researchers from LMICs working in bioethics - Goal: To provide project-focused mentorship to help advance bioethics research in global contexts
The program pairs early-career bioethics researchers who have completed their doctoral degrees within the past 10 years with mentors selected from among the SNF Fellows. Participants will benefit from monthly meetings with their mentors, as well as monthly sessions with peers and program staff, to encourage peer learning and community-building.
